It does give them a “birds’-eye view” which they especially enjoy as bird-watchers.
The photos of the rocks were taken at nearby Two Lights Park, but the view from the end of their street is very similar. Just imagine! 🙂

Did I mention that I LOVE Portland!!!! Have you eaten at The Stone Dog………..oh my I ate there at least once a day on our last trip. We rented a home on a lake in the woods and I never wanted to leave. How I envy you!

Hey, all we had was overnight!
I envy people who live there —
With our friends living in Portland/Cape Elizabeth, over the years we’ve seen lots and lots of the sights of the area — but eaten mostly at their house, so don’t know The Stone Dog at all. Pub? Bistro? Lobster shack (doesn’t sound like it)? What lake, in what woods? Dish, please.

The trouble with Portland (some trouble!) is that it’s overflowing with great restaurants.
It was such a hard choice when we only had one night —
Hugo was right up there in the mix. Maybe next time, after your strong recommendation, Karen!
(Lucky you, to have a home up there!)

Oh, yes, indeed. I was just in Maine last May, for my son’s graduation from Bowdoin College in Brunswick. When my mother-in-law lived in Concord, we used to go up to Maine, and I have visited my sister’s in-laws at Cherryfield. I remember the wild beauty of Acadia National Park, and have very fond memories of a certain lobster I made the acquaintance of in Bar Harbor. I have a great appreciation for the State of Maine, which is why I loved your post so much!
